You are already have a solid background in mental health or substance use but you want to further improve and develop your expertise.
Obtain individual professional consultation to receive tailored coaching and feedback to improve your competency and confidence in helping people with complex mental and substance use health challenges.

See below for our most popular consultation topic areas
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Substance Use Health
You already have experience with CBT for Depression, Anxiety, and other conditions. But what if there are concurrent substance use issues?
Learn how to integrate CBT for substance use with other CBT techniques and programs for clients facing complex, intersecting issues.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
MI skills erode after 6 months of training unless there is ongoing coaching and feedback.
Experience personalized MI coaching. Complete, discuss, and debrief interactive exercises tailored to your unique work environment and role. Receive concrete and practical suggestions for how to improve and elevate your practice to improve client outcomes.
Supervising CBT and/or MI with Diverse Learners
Most helpers are not trained in supervision. Many supervision books and workshops are so generalized, covering multiple types of therapies and modalities that they are unhelpful. Experience a collaborative, personalized approach that ensures you receive practical guidance for learners from diverse professions and training backgrounds so that you meet your objectives with confidence.
FAQs
-
Similar to the recommended fees by the BC Psychological Association guidelines for pricing, fees for services are set at $245 per therapy hour (50mins). Please note that consultation services are not GST-exempt, unlike other Psychological services, however often these expenses can be claimed as a business expense. Please consult CRA or your accountant for more information.
Consultation sessions are 50mins in length (10mins for additional documentation). Services can also be pro-rated based on time required in 10-minute increments at one-fifth of the hourly rate ($49/10mins).
If you have a limited budget we can work together to figure out what options might work so you can get the most out of our time together. That might mean supplementing our work with workbooks and manuals, or other free/low cost services so that we focus in on the “stuck points”.

Cost is one barrier for ongoing professional education- but often getting there can be another. Finding training and/or education close to home or work, taking additional time off work to travel to a session, fighting traffic, rushing to find and pay for parking- all of this can be stressful and even add to the list of things that are already difficult with your work. I provide services virtually, using an end to end encrypted provider (Jane app or Zoom) so that you can attend from the convenience of your own home or office. Jane is similar to Zoom, Doxy, Facetime, or other services you already use. You get a link via email about 30mins before your appointment- click the link and voila! You are connected and ready for your appointment!
All consent forms are sent through the Jane app- so you can complete them when it works FOR YOU. No coming 30mins early, or having to stay late to complete the forms. Payment can also be made through the app via credit card (all your information is kept separate and in accordance with privacy guidelines)- or through e-transfer to drheatherfulton at gmail.com.
